Ben wants peace.

Give peace a chance, imagine there’s no countries. Yeah, imagine there’s no Mark David Chapman, either, see what that gets you. But it’s Ben’s business so they get out the lappie and find the return e-address on the Seven Dwarfs video.

Eighteen e-mails later they’ve set a meeting with the BC for the next day at the Montage.

Ben reserves a 2K-a-day suite.

When that’s done, O smiles at her boys and asks, “Can we go out? The three of us? Really go out?”

They know what she means by “really.” The “really” means do it right—get dressed up, hit the best places, drop a bundle, paint the town, do it.

We can go out is the answer.

Why not go out the night we go out? Ben thinks. Do it right. Celebrate the end of a successful business that’s been good to us.

Embrace the change.

“Tomorrow night,” Ben says. “Dress up.”

“I’ll have to go shopping,” O answers.
